It`s Okay To Be Smart, Dung Beetles: The Poop-Rolling Stargazers of the Serengeti | IN OUR NATURE

Dung Beetles: The Poop-Rolling Stargazers of the Serengeti | IN OUR NATURE

Out here in the Wild West at the Serengeti, its no place for the weak,

you might strike it rich, but watch your thorax. There's bandits everywhere. Ready

to steal what you worked hard for I'm not talking about gold. I'm talking about poop.

What is happening?

I can explain guys. I brought a story today about one of my all-time,

favorite subjects. You're not going to believe what this is.

Oh my God. I also brought a story about one of my all-time, favorite subjects.

Same time one, two, three, extreme senses.

Extreme senses.

How long did it take you to practice that one?

I was born this way. Oh, you mean counting to three? I've been doing that for a long time.

Emily. I think you're going to like this for a completely different reason

because of where our story starts.

It's amazing an ecosystem as rich and diverse as the Serengeti,

you know what the most important valuable resource in this entire ecosystem is?

One is right here.

Steaming hot pile, fresh elephant dump.

I'm intrigued.

Ah, It's a beautiful sight.

It is. I mean, how fresh do you think this is.

within the hour?

Yeah. Do you reckon?

Ew. What is he doing.

Okay, we'll talk about that later. I have a little hand sanitizer in my bag.

I mean, I can tolerate a lot of gross stuff, but even I have my limit.

So The number one cool thing that we saw that day was this awesome Bull Elephant. And the

number two coolest thing we saw that day was that number two. I mean, elephants impressive at both

ends. It got to tell ya, but we also, weren't the only ones who found that special Present.

I mean, this is swarming. It's swarming with flies

ants. Like every bug in the Serengeti, I feel like has found this pile of poop,

it was incredible just how quickly they came onto this ploy.

Within like minutes, this hitting the ground, they were here.

I mean, if you consider just how nutrient rich it is, and then almost a broken down form,

the dung beetles they'll make a nice bowl of it and kind of rode it off to they burrow in and

lay their eggs in it.

You can just roll with us.

Are you in the dung beetle fan club?

Yeah. Dung beetles are the best. They're the best can confirm.

This is like a, like a stinky gold rush, finding a pilot poo liked this. I mean,

there's water nutrients and these is crucial stuff in a place like this, where competition

for resources can be so fierce, right? And these beetles, they battled brutally on this

bounty from a [inaudible 00:03:00]. It's a brutal bounty beetle battle.

There's battles going on this dung pile of beetles,

fighting other beetles to get the best spot with the freshest wettest, elephant poop,

and who wouldn't want to fight over this. We should watch our backs. There might be

other people out here with cameras that want this pile [crosstalk 00:03:18] .

You know, this is valuable stuff. So

These dung beetles scoop their shovel like heads through this stinky motherload

gathering armfuls of poop, like farmers harvesting their crops

and then using their incredibly muscular legs to mold and mash it into a ball.

Perfect for rolling home. But you got to get home fast because other beetles, they want that dung.

Watch out for Beetle, dung bandits.

So here is the problem. These dung beetles have to solve.

How do they find the quickest route home in the straightest line?

You know, that's a really good question because

we're surrounded by tall grass. So how do you know which way to go?

Yeah. I mean to us, grass is only knee or waist high, but to a dung beetle,

it's like being stuck in the forest. There are no landmarks. I mean, I would be totally lost.

Humans are actually famously bad at this. You drop people in the wilderness with no

navigational aids. They'll just walk around in circles. Figuring a straight

path. Home is really hard unless.

Obviously they carry teeny-tiny campuses.

Actually.

But I mean, if you look up and some things that you can use to navigate.

like a universal compass.

Exactly.

So their eyes they're super tiny, right? But they are highly specialized for picking up the

position and the height of the sun in the sky. And it gets even better. If the sun is hidden,

like it's behind a cloud or something, their eyes can even pick up on patterns of polarized light,

like how light waves spin. And they can even use that

for navigation. That's going to be the most Unique astronomy skill I've ever heard.

Poop navigation.

Poop navigation, well done. Dung beetles, poop navigators, smelly astronomers.

They push for a little bit, head down, legs kicking. Then they pop up on top of

their dung ball and they do this little dance turning around to sense the pattern of light

got their directions back down, push, pop up, dance, navigate, push, dance, navigate,

and just keep repeating that all the way home. It's so cute. And they're very Good at it.

I never thought I would say this about a beetle that literally spends its whole life

push a poop around, but that's pretty cute and dance like me at a wedding.

These beetles are super strong. I mean, those have dung balls could

be like 50, a 100 times their body weight. I don't care. Push it right up a mountain.

They never skipped leg day or exoskeleton day.

What's the equivalent of a hundred times

our body weight. If we were like pushing around a couple of trucks,

But now tell me, so you've got these species that are active during the day,

but you also have species of dung people that are active at night.

Ooh, good question, turning the tables on you, Mr. Scientist.

It is a good question. So there are other species of dung beetles that are only active

at night. I mean, dung harvesting is a 24 hour business. Okay? But these beetles,

this is going to blow your mind.

They're doing the same thing, but they're just using different cues from the sky. They actually

see the Milky way. They use the band of the Milky way

through the sky as a way to orient themselves back to their burrows. Absolutely incredible.

Wait, do they actually see the stars?

So their eyes are probably too small to actually see the individual stars,

but get this scientists actually put dung beetles inside of a planetarium.

And they realized that they were using the band of the Milky way in the sky to navigate

Home. I would not want to clean the carpet at the planetarium after that visit,

I would want to narrate the show.

Do you think there are astrologists.

Reading a constellations?

Yeah.

Poop is in Leo today. I'm more of a Gemini poop guy.

Scientists have done all kinds of hilarious and creative things to figure this out. I mean,

blindfolding dung beetles, like putting mirrors around them,

putting them planetariums. This is crazy.

I Want to see the blindfold, honestly. That's amazing.

I mean, they're like a little like index card cutouts. They like taped to their

heads. It's a ridiculous,

Do they need any interns? Because I am there.

Sign her up. We know it might be a little weird, but we've uncovered something so

cool out of it. I mean, this is the only insect that I know of that can see our galaxy. I mean,

that's wild, but I think it's a really cool connection there. Evolution frickin rules.

Totally does.

Dude evolution.

All I need in life is a big ball of poo and some sick waves. I

Don't have any brothers, but I feel like working

with you guys is the closest I've ever been to having experienced.

I'm sorry.

I feel kind of like, like touched by that

They may live in poop, but these are amazing little creatures.

Galaxy Gazing beetles. Incredible. But they aren't the only bugs

that can sense things at the edge of what is physically possible. These bugs are straight fire.

Do the kids still say that Trace?

I don't Know if that's what the kids say. I'm not cool, but fire is cool.

And to understand what I'm talking about, we got to go to Berkeley, California.

It's not often that you are alone in a giant stadium all by yourself.

Some say it's haunted.

Echo. So, In the early 1940s, this stadium was here. It looked exactly the same as it

does now. Still have the bleachers still have the field, still had the trees up around it.

Out of those trees is where our story starts. It's like hearing my own voice inside my own head.

So picture this, It's the 1940s. You're having a great time. You're here with your friends,

enjoying yourself. And then all of a sudden out of the trees, you hear this giant swarm and you don't

know where it's coming from. And then they're everywhere and they're just bitting people.

But why would this happen? Because those beetles are fire chaser beetles or charcoal beetles.

Why would you let this? I need more information,

Fire beetles. What even is that?

They seek out burned wood as part of their natural life cycle. And even though

they swarmed Berkeley stadium in the 40's, they're still around today, biting people,

fighting wildfires and brush fires. And as to why they would descend on the stadium,

picture it like most places in the 1940s it's filled with people Smoking.

Oh, right? Like Humphrey Bogart. Let me tell you a kid there's beetles here.

They didn't teach me that in health class

Kids don't smoke. You're going to get attacked by a swarm of beetles.

Swarm of these fire Chaser Beetles descend upon the stadium. They're chasing the firesticks.

Okay, wait, do they like lay their eggs in fire? Like dragons or something?

I mean, kind of they're Called fire bugs or fire chasers because they literally

got to lay their eggs next to burning embers. The fire has wiped out all the competition in

an area. So like a YouTube comments section, the Beetles are there first

and their larva can eat the wood before any other competition gets there.

That is just so metal.

Yeah. And when I say swarm, I mean it, after a forest fire in Germany,

an area of three football fields was estimated to contain at least 300,000 larva.

What that's so extreme.

There first described by entomologists after brush fires and on oil fires,

but are also seen another hot places like walking on pipes that are too hot to touch

in sugar factories and on logs that are smoldering after campfires, they get so hot from their

escapades that their little tiny bodies, if they land on human skin can cause burns.

What that's like super extreme.

It's incredible story. And it really got us intrigued one. How did they know that all these

people were here smoking? Could they sense it? And two, could they sense the heat that

was coming from those cigarettes? Or was it just the smoke? It might be that they could do both.

So I popped across the bay into San Francisco to find Out. So we're here at the California Academy

of Sciences. They're going to show us some fire chaser beetles that they have in their specimen

archives, But on my way to meet up with our expert, I, to Joe found my way to Africa.

Ah, this is going to be great.

Ooh. Okay, Mr. Cool.

The animals were really Easy to take pictures with very still. It was, you know, done this before.

Zebras, Joe. You're not the only one who got to see wildlife, new kill that's why? What are you

doing up there? Kitty cat, Joe going all the way to Tanzania. You didn't get this close, Joe. Wow.

So pretty. I think I caught this one in animal crossing. Whoa. Hi.

Very funny. Probably smelled better too. Whatever.

Eventually I met up with Christopher Grantor, the collection manager of entomology.

So how many species are down here? This is huge.

We have hundreds of Thousands of species in the collections

with over 15 million insects from all over the world.

That is wild. These are cool. I need one of these for my house. Where are our beetles?

We've got them right here.

Whoa. This is so cool.

These little guys and are a variety of different colors.

Some are black, some have spots. Some are iridescent green.

They are so small. I guess I didn't expect something so powerful to be so tiny.

How Far away can they sense fire?

Well, Actually that was the question that I

asked the entomologists because we had them in the Hot seat.

I get it.

Tell me Everything. How do these beetles do their thing?

Well, they, they Have an amazing ability

to sense fires from a huge distance away. And they do that with several sensory structures,

The Beetles can sense smoke in the air with their antennae and they have tiny sensors on the sides

of their bodies under the wings that let them sense infrared radiation from heat. And these are

incredible. They're basically little fluid covered hairs in a pocket. The fluid expands and contracts

with the heat. And they sense that and follow the sensation. It's not too dissimilar to how we have

fluid covered hairs in our ears telling us which way is up, but there's this way cooler or hotter.

So as they fly the sensory pits, they kind of face forward so that they're able to triangulate

the smoke in the fire in the distance and make a B to align for it. But it's a balancing act.

They want to get there soon enough to beat the competition, but not so soon that they

waste energy flying around and waiting for the fire to die down. They want to land on

charred wood, not wood, that's on fire. And that is a life or death decision

if they do it right, they breed. And if they do it wrong, they get cooked. Just like with

the dung beetles, these extreme senses are all about resources, passing on genes and breeding.

Yeah. So as soon as those eggs are laid on or under the bark, the little larva will emerge from

the egg and burrow into the wood and they'll spend the next year feeding on the inside of the tree.

So They get like a little buffet.

Exactly.

Wow. That's nice. Very romantic. So then like a little smoldering wood, you know, a little wine.

Yeah. They'll mature slowly throughout the year and in the spring or summer of the next year,

they'll emerge and be ready to look for the next forest fire.

How these beetles detect fire from far away is still being studied by scientists,

working on biomimicry. These are people who base technological inventions on things

invented by nature. If the studies are right, these beetles beat every human technological

IR detector on the market, in terms of sensitivity, they have been spotted in fires,

a hundred kilometers. It's from their homes.

Wait, that's like 62 miles. Something that small.

Yes. Thank you. It's like me standing in

England and sensing a fire across the English channel in Northern France.

There is a fire in Normandy. I should go there. Lay some eggs in it.

We're talking radio telescope level sensitivity. This detection

is at the limit of what is physically possible though. I should say, entomologists are still

debating the exact distances and how they do it. More research is needed as I like to say,

but I have one last point. Dung and fire have a lot in common because neither are super pleasant,

but both are an important part of the ecosystem. And both are examples

of where there's a resource to be exploited, be it energy or nutrients or water or shelter

for your babies, or, you know, whatever that is. There's usually something that's

evolved to take advantage of that resource, no matter how rare it is,

That's especially true where there's competition, right? I mean these extreme senses, they evolved

and let these species do what they do better than any of their competitors out there. Right? I mean,

without dung and without fire, they couldn't do what they do in their little beetle Lives.

You could say without those resources, they would have a hard day's night.

Oh, that was a beetle joke.

You can get it cause the beetle with an a, but instead of the double e.

They're working overtime.

It's been an arduous Twilight and I've been toiling...

I think we got a future in Liverpool.

I never thought I would say this about a  beetle that literally spends its whole life 文字通り一生を過ごすカブトムシについて、こんなことを言うとは思わなかった。

It is a good question. So there are other  species of dung beetles that are only active ||||||||||||Käfer|||| いい質問だ。ダンゴムシには他にも、以下のような種がいる。

this is going to blow your mind. これはあなたの心を揺さぶるだろう。

They're doing the same thing, but they're just  using different cues from the sky. They actually やっていることは同じだが、空からの合図を使い分けているだけだ。実際には Они делают одно и то же, но используют разные сигналы с неба. Они на самом деле

see the Milky way. They use  the band of the Milky way ver la Vía Láctea. Utilizan la banda de la Vía Láctea 天の川が見える。天の川の帯を利用する zie de Melkweg. Ze gebruiken de band van de Melkweg увидеть Млечный путь. Они используют полосу Млечного Пути

Wait, do they actually see the stars? 待って、彼らは本当に星が見えるの?

So their eyes are probably too small  to actually see the individual stars, つまり、彼らの目は小さすぎて、実際に個々の星を見ることはできないのだろう、

but get this scientists actually put  dung beetles inside of a planetarium. しかし、科学者たちは実際にダンゴムシをプラネタリウムの中に入れたのだ。 maar laat deze wetenschappers mestkevers in een planetarium stoppen.

And they realized that they were using the  band of the Milky way in the sky to navigate وأدركوا أنهم كانوا يستخدمون شريط درب التبانة في السماء للتنقل そして、彼らは天の川の帯を使って航行していることに気づいた。

And to understand what I'm talking about,  we got to go to Berkeley, California. この話を理解するには、カリフォルニアのバークレーに行かなければならない。

It's not often that you are alone  in a giant stadium all by yourself. 巨大なスタジアムにたった一人でいることは滅多にない。

Some say it's haunted. |||heimgesucht Manche sagen, es spukt dort. Algunos dicen que está embrujada. 幽霊が出るという話もある。

Out of those trees is where our story starts.  It's like hearing my own voice inside my own head.

So picture this, It's the 1940s. You're having  a great time. You're here with your friends,

enjoying yourself. And then all of a sudden out of  the trees, you hear this giant swarm and you don't 楽しんでいる。すると突然、木々の間から巨大な群れの音が聞こえてきた。

But why would this happen? Because those beetles  are fire chaser beetles or charcoal beetles. |||||Weil||||||||| Aber warum würde das passieren? Weil diese Käfer Feuerjagdkäfer oder Holzkohlekäfer sind. Pero, ¿por qué ocurriría esto? Porque esos escarabajos son escarabajos cazadores de fuego o escarabajos carboneros. しかし、なぜこのようなことが起こるのだろうか?そのカブトムシは火を追うカブトムシ、あるいは炭を追うカブトムシだからだ。 Maar waarom zou dit gebeuren? Omdat die kevers vuurjagers of houtskoolkevers zijn.

Why would you let this? I need more information, Warum würdest du das zulassen? Ich brauche mehr Informationen. ¿Por qué permites esto? Necesito más información, なぜこんなことをさせるのか?もっと情報が必要だ、

Fire beetles. What even is that? Feuerkäfer. Was ist das überhaupt? 火のカブトムシ。何それ?

They seek out burned wood as part of  their natural life cycle. And even though 彼らは自然のライフサイクルの一部として、燃やされた木材を探し求める。そして、たとえ Ze zoeken verbrand hout op als onderdeel van hun natuurlijke levenscyclus. En hoewel

they swarmed Berkeley stadium in the 40's,  they're still around today, biting people, 彼らは40年代にはバークレー・スタジアムに群がり、今日でも人を噛んでいる、

fighting wildfires and brush fires. And as  to why they would descend on the stadium, 山火事や火事の消火活動だ。そして、なぜ彼らがスタジアムに押し寄せたのかについては、次のように語っている、 bestrijden van bosbranden en bosbranden. En waarom ze naar het stadion zouden afdalen,

picture it like most places in the  1940s it's filled with people Smoking. imagen como la mayoría de los lugares en la década de 1940 está lleno de gente fumando. 1940年代の多くの場所と同じように、喫煙者で溢れている。

Oh, right? Like Humphrey Bogart. Let  me tell you a kid there's beetles here. |||Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart||||||||| ¿Ah, sí? Como Humphrey Bogart. Déjame decirte que aquí hay escarabajos. そうだろ?ハンフリー・ボガードみたいにね。子供に言っておくけど、ここにはカブトムシがいるんだ。

Kids don't smoke. You're going to  get attacked by a swarm of beetles. 子供はタバコを吸わないカブトムシの大群に襲われるぞ。

Swarm of these fire Chaser Beetles descend upon  the stadium. They're chasing the firesticks. ファイヤーチェイサービートルの大群がスタジアムに降臨。ファイヤースティックを追いかけている。

and their larva can eat the wood before  any other competition gets there. そしてその幼虫は、他の競合がそこに到達する前に木材を食べることができる。

That is just so metal. Das ist einfach so metallisch. Eso es tan metálico. まさにメタルだ。

Yeah. And when I say swarm, I mean  it, after a forest fire in Germany, そうだね。大群と言ったのは、ドイツの山火事の後だ、

an area of three football fields was  estimated to contain at least 300,000 larva. サッカー場3個分の面積に、少なくとも30万匹の幼虫が生息していると推定された。

What that's so extreme. 何がそんなに極端なんだ。

It's incredible story. And it really got us  intrigued one. How did they know that all these Es ist eine unglaubliche Geschichte. Und sie hat uns wirklich neugierig gemacht. Woher wussten sie, dass all diese 信じられないような話だ。そして、私たちは本当に興味をそそられた。なぜ、彼らはこのような

Eventually I met up with Christopher Grantor,  the collection manager of entomology. |||||Christopher Grantor|Grantor Christopher|||||Entomologie Uiteindelijk ontmoette ik Christopher Grantor, de collectiemanager van entomologie.

So how many species are down here? This is huge. では、ここには何種の生物がいるのだろうか?これは巨大だ。

We have hundreds of Thousands  of species in the collections

with over 15 million insects  from all over the world.

That is wild. These are cool. I need one of  these for my house. Where are our beetles? ワイルドだ。これはクールだ。僕の家にも欲しいな。カブトムシはどこ?

We've got them right here. ここにある

Whoa. This is so cool.

These little guys and are a  variety of different colors.

Some are black, some have spots.  Some are iridescent green. ||||||||irideszentes|

They are so small. I guess I didn't expect  something so powerful to be so tiny. Sie sind so klein. Ich habe wohl nicht erwartet, dass etwas so Starkes so winzig sein kann. とても小さいんだ。こんなにパワフルなものがこんなに小さいとは思わなかったよ。

How Far away can they sense fire?

Well, Actually that was the question that I

asked the entomologists because  we had them in the Hot seat. preguntó a los entomólogos porque los teníamos en la silla caliente. と昆虫学者に尋ねた。

I get it. わかったよ。

Tell me Everything. How do  these beetles do their thing? すべてを教えてこのカブトムシはどのように行動するのか?

Well, they, they Have an amazing ability

to sense fires from a huge distance away. And  they do that with several sensory structures, 遠くから火を感知する。そして、いくつかの感覚構造を使ってそれを行う、

The Beetles can sense smoke in the air with their  antennae and they have tiny sensors on the sides

of their bodies under the wings that let them  sense infrared radiation from heat. And these are

incredible. They're basically little fluid covered  hairs in a pocket. The fluid expands and contracts increíbles. Básicamente son pequeños pelos cubiertos de fluido en una bolsa. El fluido se expande y contrae 信じられない。これは基本的に、ポケットの中にある小さな液体で覆われた毛だ。液体は膨張と収縮を繰り返す

with the heat. And they sense that and follow the  sensation. It's not too dissimilar to how we have

fluid covered hairs in our ears telling us which  way is up, but there's this way cooler or hotter. pelos cubiertos de fluido en nuestras orejas que nos dicen qué camino es hacia arriba, pero hay este camino más fresco o más caliente.

So as they fly the sensory pits, they kind of  face forward so that they're able to triangulate Mientras vuelan por las fosas sensoriales, miran hacia adelante para poder triangular...

the smoke in the fire in the distance and make  a B to align for it. But it's a balancing act.

They want to get there soon enough to beat  the competition, but not so soon that they

waste energy flying around and waiting for  the fire to die down. They want to land on

charred wood, not wood, that's on fire.  And that is a life or death decision

if they do it right, they breed. And if they  do it wrong, they get cooked. Just like with ||||||züchten|||||||||||| si lo hacen bien, se reproducen. Y si lo hacen mal, se cuecen. Como ocurre con

the dung beetles, these extreme senses are all  about resources, passing on genes and breeding. ||||||||||||||Fortpflanzung

Yeah. So as soon as those eggs are laid on or  under the bark, the little larva will emerge from

the egg and burrow into the wood and they'll spend  the next year feeding on the inside of the tree. |||nagen||||||||||||||||

So They get like a little buffet.

Exactly.

Wow. That's nice. Very romantic. So then like a  little smoldering wood, you know, a little wine. ||||||||||glühende||||||

Yeah. They'll mature slowly throughout the year  and in the spring or summer of the next year,

they'll emerge and be ready to  look for the next forest fire.

How these beetles detect fire from far  away is still being studied by scientists,

working on biomimicry. These are people  who base technological inventions on things werken aan biomimicry. Dit zijn mensen die technologische uitvindingen op dingen baseren

invented by nature. If the studies are right,  these beetles beat every human technological |||Wenn (1)|||||||||| von der Natur erfunden. Wenn die Studien stimmen, übertreffen diese Käfer jede menschliche Technologie

a hundred kilometers. It's from their homes. einehundert Kilometer. Es ist von ihren Wohnorten.

Wait, that's like 62 miles. Something that small.

Yes. Thank you. It's like me standing in

England and sensing a fire across the  English channel in Northern France.

There is a fire in Normandy. I  should go there. Lay some eggs in it.

We're talking radio telescope  level sensitivity. This detection

is at the limit of what is physically possible  though. I should say, entomologists are still

debating the exact distances and how they do  it. More research is needed as I like to say, debatiendo las distancias exactas y cómo lo hacen. Se necesita más investigación, como me gusta decir,

but I have one last point. Dung and fire have a  lot in common because neither are super pleasant,

but both are an important part of  the ecosystem. And both are examples

of where there's a resource to be exploited,  be it energy or nutrients or water or shelter

for your babies, or, you know, whatever  that is. There's usually something that's

evolved to take advantage of that  resource, no matter how rare it is, evolucionado para aprovechar ese recurso, por raro que sea,

That's especially true where there's competition,  right? I mean these extreme senses, they evolved

and let these species do what they do better than  any of their competitors out there. Right? I mean,

without dung and without fire, they couldn't  do what they do in their little beetle Lives.

You could say without those resources,  they would have a hard day's night. Se podría decir que, sin esos recursos, tendrían una noche dura. 可以说,如果没有这些资源,他们一天一夜都会很辛苦。

Oh, that was a beetle joke.

You can get it cause the beetle with  an a, but instead of the double e. 你可以得到它,因为甲虫带有一个 a,而不是双 e。

They're working overtime. ||Überstunden

It's been an arduous Twilight  and I've been toiling... Ha sido un arduo Crepúsculo y me he estado esforzando... Het is een zware Twilight geweest en ik heb gezwoegd...
